This week on the StartupBlink podcast, we welcome Lakshmi Shenoy, CEO of Embarc Collective, an education nonprofit that helps Tampa Bay's startup talent build bold, scalable, thriving companies. Lakshmi discusses the Tampa Bay Startup Ecosystem and her belief that you can't plan to grow any one industry and instead ecosystem developers must work together to make a city welcoming to all types of startups, resulting in natural concentrations of innovation.

StartupBlink is the world's most comprehensive startup ecosystem map and research center, working with more than 50 municipalities and governments worldwide. Its global startup ecosystem map has tens of thousands of registered startups, coworking spaces, and accelerators, creating a robust sample of innovation globally.

In order to help our partners further their brand recognition and generate leads in the tech industry of their choice, StartupBlink builds vertical maps. Helping them to position their company as a thought-leader at the forefront of their industry.
